4ACES QUICK REVIEW
TEAM
A frustrating regular season in which they failed to win a team trophy for the first time while finishing 10th in points ended on a positive note with a tie for second at the Team Championship.
PLAYERS (final points ranking)
Dustin Johnson (14): Won in Las Vegas to extend his LIV Golf win streak to three consecutive years but was rarely in contention during the second half of the season.
Patrick Reed (20): Podium finish in his hometown event in Houston and two singles wins at the Team Championship were the high points during a season that didn’t meet his lofty standards.
Harold Varner III (43): His best result came in the final regular-season event as he avoided falling into the Drop Zone.
Pat Perez (48): Last qualified player in the Open Zone, he avoided relegation by 1.5 points in a challenging season on several fronts.
